[POV: TOMMY]

Tommy grinned wildly as an exhausted Tubbo opened the door, the other blinding bleary as he took in the light beaming in from the open door. Tubbo's hair was even fluffier than usual, most likely from the hair sticking up in every direction possible.
"Oh hey Toms." Tubbo yawned a greeting, gesturing Tommy in as Tubbo closed the door behind him.

Tommy took in the appearance of the place, Tubbo and Ranboo had to babysit Micheal all night because his moms had gotten into a big bit of traffic on the way back and had decided it was better to just wait in a inn until the traffic was able to be cleared... which ended up taking all night.

The night before in a vc Tommy and Tubbo where in had been in, while Ranboo was watching the toddler, Tommy had heard Micheal's mom's apologizing over and over for not coming home earlier. He had never met them personally nor did he truly care too if he was being honest to himself, more people to get attached too, but they seemed nice enough.

A car had pulled up in the driveway, interrupting Tommy's thoughts as the beam of light from the car flashed through the windows. Tommy turned to see the two women getting out of the car and walking in, Tubbo leaving Tommy alone in the room to talk with them. He glanced around the room again awkwardly, unsure of what to do seeing as he didn't want to invade their privacy and Warner throughout their house.

So instead he sat down on a chair in the corner and scrolled through Twitter until a noise from across the room made him jump, looking up to see who he could only presume was Micheal. The toddler was giggling and running around with a drawing he'd made, running up to stony to show him. Micheal was wearing overalls and the drawing he was waving around was mainly consisting of a black and white figure along with what looked like a person?

Tommy, putting on his signature baby voice cooed to the toddler,
"Oooh that's such a good drawing little dude! It looks awesome."

Micheal grinned ear to ear at the compliment, wrapping his arms around Tommy's lower body in a tight embrace. Normally Tommy will shake anyone who hugged him off, but he was just a toddler and he'd feel horrible if he did so.

"Didn't know you had a soft spot for babies Toms." Ranboo remarked, looking smug as they leaned against the doorframe, their one bright green eye displaying a fond amusement, their other, red eye, was blank as always.

Tommy wasn't sure if the their eye was always so blank of emotion or if it was only since they had become blind in that eye when they were a little kid.

"Shut up Ranboob." He gritted his teeth, continuing to glare at the taller while embracing the clingy little toddler. Ranboo frowned at the name, Tommy beginning to grin as he realized he'd found a perfect nickname for his friend. The two only breaking eye contact when Micheal unlatched himself from Tommy and dashed to the door where his mothers were walking in, both dropping to their knees and embracing their toddler and cooing at him.

Tubbo walked in the door behind them, walking over to Ranboo and mumuring a quick conversation to one another before Tommy was forced to awkwardly listen as they argued the price of babysitting, Ranboo and Tubbo wanting to not raise their payment, and the other two telling that they were going to to raise it. Tommy wasn't really paying much attention to the conversation or argument if that's what you'd call it, he was mostly focused on Micheals drawing.
